Hi reader! We are in the beginning days of the Lightning network, and the beginning days of this wiki! Please help by expanding this article!
Watchtowers make mobile wallets more powerful (or wallets that are not online 24x7). They keep track of channels for the client.

- Merged on 2019-01-16 : https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/2448 (This PR does not expose the watchtower configuration options in LND's config, it only adds the struct that will later be embedded. Further, the configuration options are only available in experimental builds as there are few moving parts of the protocol that should be solidified before attempting to operate a tower.)
